       Re'Ni could not help but smile herself, she really liked the
       thought of having a child and although she was slightly scared,
       this time it was an innocent fear.. {"Yes! That truth.. keep
       future safe, lay future, then grow, teach and enjoy future
       together with Tec!"} The dragoness licked Tec's face and
       caressed his left shoulder with her paw. After a few minutes she
       got up from bed and tried to pull Tec with her tail {"Want
       breakfast! Then show Tec what Erhyna taught Re'Ni do..  ..helped
       very during lonesome times"}
       -
       Caprima smiled and nodded at Girmion "It's ok! Curiosity is what
       powers the trip for knoweledge." Upon hearing out Xefr her smile
       had faded away, she came close to the old black drake and looked
       at his eyes from down bellow "I had suspected that..  ..I know
       it's hard for you - it's hard for every parent and mostly for
       our children. I also know however that he still loves you deep
       inside and even if he doesn't show it, he will be really happy
       if you show him you care  ...even after many years of being
       detached as you said back in Zuan'lotl  ..it's an opportunity to
       make both of you a little happier."
       Cui gasped and tried to say something, but feared she might say
       something stupid, so she just patted Xefr. For a moment she
       looked back to Myst, since she had felt a rather big interest
       from him regarding that person.

       Tec let himself get pulled along, and got off the bed. The Shard
       nodded and smiled, "Alright, we'll have breakfast and then you
       can teach me something new. Same place as we ate before, come
       on." Tec then walked over to the door and opened it with his
       paw. He stepped out into the hall, though waited for Re'Ni
       before proceeding.
       -
       Myst was standing there, shocked. His normal mask of calm had
       once again disappeared from his face, and his words were that of
       confusion, "What...? That... Well, it makes sense, but how? I'm
       sure at least one other Shard would remember something like
       that..."
       Xefr was clearly ashamed, eyes clinging to the ceiling,
       "Unfortunately, that is correct. But fate is cruel. As you know
       Myst, we are not the first batch of Shards, merely the third.
       But in the previous two groups, the variant of Forbidden that
       appeared was the only one given memories of Dervis, and with his
       cruelty never tried to help. He simply forgot, for it did not
       matter to him. In our batch, this is the case as well, though
       this time I also remembered Dervis. But by now... It's too late.
       A hundred years have passed..." The Drake then started to panic,
       his eyes swirling with terror as he looked at his paws. Xefr's
       voice reflected this, as he started to speak quickly in a scared
       tone, "Yeah, it's too late. I can't do this. I'm just going to
       hurt somebody, just tossing salt in the wound. I can't let
       Dervis see me, not like this. Not ready yet, too soon..."
       This was noticed by Girmion, who ran up and grabbed Xefr's
       shoulders, "Snap out of it Xefr! It's just going to get worse if
       you keep putting this off! You are not running away this time!"

       Re'Ni walked forward and followed Tec, for a moment she turned
       her head back to the room and muttered something very silently
       ..as they were walking, she seemed happy but her tail was
       shaking and frequently looked around for something while bearing
       an angry expression. She decided to talk to Tec instead and stop
       worrying {"Hmmm..  Thought of ghosts before Tec? Re'Ni thought
       many times. Sometimes Re'Ni feels surrounded by spirit."}
       -
       Caprima's expression turned into a frown. She sighed and snapped
       her fingers, everything around froze and her and Xefr appeared
       in an empty white room "YOU Xefr are a coward, and like all
       cowards you're going to accept that and continue spreading
       misery to your soul and other souls around you, unless you
       change. Remain silent for I have to show you something...  I
       have to show you why you must see Dervis, I must show you why we
       fight.."
       Suddenly Xefr and Caprima appear before a dark vastness "This is
       Voss; my plain of existence and universe  ..your species' old
       home. It wasn't always like that.." she waves her hand and both
       appear as ghostly figures in a small room. In the center of the
       room stands a younger and terrified Caprima, and a Dragon with
       five other dragons behind him, a dragon maid enters briefly the
       room and leaves a few cups of tea, she bears a striking
       resemblance to Cui though her colour was a bright red, instead
       of blue.
       The dragon in the center starts speaking "Tommorow, the Qoatl
       Empire, protector of the Benevolence of V'oss and greatest state
       within the seven Galaxies, will have to declare its
       unconditional surrender to the Hyl and the adoption of the Ideal
       of Descendancy and I, Emperor Acu'Tozac Qo'Atzel'Qoatl will
       abdicate in favour of the Death-Queen. Soon the Hyl will reach
       the third core and with its power will destroy this universe
       ..but there is another way my friend! I have found a way for all
       seven of us to survive and build a new world as we envision it
       in a different universe!   ..we only have to destroy this one,
       High Mater."
       The younger version of Caprima seemed shocked and disgusted, she
       sipped a bit of tea and raised her finger to the emperor,
       "Never! ...Are you out of your mind? We worked hard for
       thousands of years to save this universe and with what I'm
       building we will manage to save it once and for all! You only
       have to wait! Besides.. I would never leave my children to die
       alone. Hell I wouldn't even let my ex die without seeing him for
       the last time."
       The Dragon Emperor frowned "I expected this  ..always the
       moralist, always being an obstacle to Qoatl - We have waited
       long enough and apparently waiting is not helping us!   ..well,
       no more waiting, we will do this with your agreement, or not
       ..actually, it already has begun. You can decide though; Will
       you stay and die with your world, or follow us to the next? What
       do you value more Cap? Life, or Death?"  the emperor reaches out
       his paw..
       The scene changes into a tremendous blast of light, obliterating
       the entire universe and leaving nothing behind; billions of
       species, stories, civilisations, families  ..all lost.
       The illusion stops and both Xefr and Caprima are back in the
       empty white room. Caprima sits in a chair that appears out of
       nowhere and cries inconsollably while trying to speak "Y-you at
       least have a chance t-to say goodbye if everything fails
       ..don't waste it, like I did.  ..running away solves nothing."
       Caprima snaps her fingers again and they both appear at the
       exact position and time they left...

       The second Re'Ni mentioned ghosts, Tec froze. His movement just
       stopped for a moment, before he shaked his head a bit and caught
       up again. His eyes now looked to the floor, though they were
       clouded by darkness and seemed to be focused on something Re'Ni
       couldn't see. He did manage to get some words out though, "I've
       thought about ghosts before... But never willingly, I try to
       avoid that topic, especially the thought of one getting too
       close. It brings back... pain. Reminds me of how weak I was, and
       how that weakness brings harm to the people I love most... "
       -
       Xefr didn't seem reassured at all, and his eyes just were
       consumed by uncertainty. Then, his head fell to the ground and
       he grabbed the sides of it with his front paws. Then, the
       shouting, "Stop it! Stop showing me these things! It's all too
       much, I never asked for any of it! I... I'm not ready for any of
       this! People are going to get hurt if I keep trying, I'm not
       going to let the happen! Somebody else has to do this, save
       lives and stop the darkness... That's how people will avoid
       harm, if I pass on the mantle to somebody else!" Xefr then
       quickly got up and attempted to leap out of the cave entrance
       and fly away...
       And when he jumped, Girmion grabbed him by the tail and pulled
       him back with one arm. To prevent him from escaping, Girmion
       used his powers and wrapped Xefr's body in psionic shackles,
       pinning him to the ground and only allowing him to wriggle for
       movement as the blue metal wrapped over his torso and limbs.
       Looking to the struggling drake chained to his floor, Girmion
       sighed then turned towards Caprima. The old drake had a look of
       sadness in eyes, but his voice was firm and  serious, "Neither
       Xefr or Essentials normally acts like this. He only cracks under
       extreme pressure... What exactly has happened to him? And what
       brought him to actually try and reconnect with Dervis? I need to
       know, now."
       Myst ran over to Xefr with concern in his eyes. And when he
       looked down and saw Xef's eyes he loudly cursed in draconic. The
       old drake's eyes never stayed still, and had a new color of
       blood red, and seemed almost gaseous. Myst looked up and tried
       to explain in a very nervous voice, "It's that goddamn illness
       again! I'm going to destroy Forbidden for causing this, and this
       is the worst time for it to happen!"

       Re'Ni stood infront of Tec and covered him with her wings while
       placing her paws on his cheeks, forcing him to look in her eyes
       {"Listen love. Re'Ni not see weakness in Tec  ..see strong and
       good Valx that loves Re'Ni and fights hard for that love. Both
       fight hard against any ghost, and world if need;  ...Tec not
       alone, Tec has Re'Ni now and Re'Ni protect no matter what   ..no
       ghost can defeat that!"} She gave Tec a sweet kiss and hugged
       him next.
       -
       Caprima didn't expect this, she fell to her knees in shock and
       covered her mouth with her hands  ..she then run close to Xefr
       and looked at his eyes "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry my child  ..I
       always screw up! I.. I..." she looked with tears in her eyes
       towards Girmion "No, I can't tell  ..this could happen again. I
       don't want that  ..it's too much." She then started panicking.
       Cui that had understood perfectly what happened run close to her
       and slapped her with her wing, talking in a worried and angry
       tone "Get hold of yourself! Fix what you did to him! That's what
       you always did   ..you're not some kind of powerless old hag!"
       Caprima nodded and touched Xefr's head, she had now a full
       psionic connection with the old drake {"I'm sorry  ..we have
       time and we can take this slow  ...I was wrong to rush things
       ..don't blame yourself for this child."} in the meanwhile she
       placed her other hand over Xefr's eyes and casted a strong
       pacification spell, Xefr could see everything in beautiful
       serene colours and all sounds sounded melodic and calm inside
       him. Noticing the eyes turning red she started breathing
       heavily, being evidently worried, and casted a second spell
       ..this time far more powerful than most normal psionics could
       ever achieve   ..it seemed to have the same effects as a
       euphoric drug.

       Tec relaxed in the embrace of the object of his love, and then
       hugged Re'Ni quite tightly. His eyes became alive and yellow
       once more, as he realized that he didn't have to be afraid
       anymore, at least not as long as she was around. "You're right,
       love. I'm not alone, I have you to protect me from those bloody
       ghosts. That strength of yours is just another reason I love you
       Re'Ni, thank you for being with me. Makes me feel a lot more
       safe. But even if I would gladly spend my whole day in your
       embrace, I won't be letting you neglect breakfast, not when you
       have our child in you now. Let's get to that now, yeah?[i]"
       -
       Xefr slowly stopped struggling and his eyes started to return to
       normal, before they eventually closed. Then, he was snoring.
       Both Myst and Girmion made sighs of relief, and became less
       concerned. The Shard dematerialized and looked to Caprima,
       "[i]That worked. I should probably mention that Essentials here
       has a habit carried over from true Xefr, which is napping after
       calming down from high levels of stress. Guardian and Scout do
       it as well, so I know he'll be fine when he wakes up. Well,
       he'll probably hate himself for freaking out, but otherwise no
       lasting effects. Thank you." Girmion still seemed unsure, but
       nodded in agreement to Myst's statement. However, the drake also
       looked at Caprima with suspicion, "If a mere explanation is
       enough to do this again, I do not even want to know what Xefr
       got himself into this time... But I still must thank you for
       stopping that freak-out, I can't stand watching my friend act
       like that."
       But then from behind them all, another voice spoke out. It was
       loud, confused, and lined with a sort of restrained anger, "Just
       what in the hell is going on in here!? Why are these people in
       your school instructor? And why is my scumbag of a father
       shackled to the floor?!" And there stood a young Golden Dragon,
       glaring at Girmion and building up Psionic energy with his left
       frontal paw.

       Re'Ni smiled and kissed Tec again, nodding at what he said
       {"That also what Re'Ni likes about Tec  ..more strong than know.
       But to remain strong, Valx must eat good breakfast  ..so let's
       go!"} She got up on all fours while still covering Tec with her
       left wing and waiting for him to move alongside her..
       -
       Caprima was about to deny all the praises for she was the cause
       of this outburst and guilt had overrun her, but as soon as the
       young dragon appeared her eyes were fixated at him   ..not
       knowing what to say. Cui on the other hand stood close to Xefr,
       having noticed the aggressive psionic energy and preparing to
       create a shield just in case..
       The goat woman moved forwards with her head lowered, her voice
       coming off as somewhat sad "Calm down sweet heart, we're here
       for a good cause  ..we wish no harm"

       Tec smiled and happily kept walking down the halls with Re'Ni.
       However, while he was calmed by her presence, he was also a
       little happy to get off the subject of ghosts. He wouldn't say
       it, but he was still afraid of them. He knew for a fact that he
       lacked the psionic strength the other shards had, so he couldn't
       face any truly dangerous specter by himself. But his beloved
       could, so all the more reason to stay by her side.
       Eventually, the couple reached the main mess hall, and it was
       mostly the same as before. But this time, there was some
       activity. A ball of light blue Psionic Energy was bouncing about
       the room, smashing and bounding off walls and furniture, but
       doing little damage. Two of those Valorian guards were chasing
       the ball however, jumping to dodge its chaotic movements and
       trying to throw these purple energy nets to catch it, though it
       was always too fast. Tec however, didn't seem worried. With a
       flash of his eyes, a small transparent psionic cube surrounded
       the ball, catching it. Tec then pulled the cube in front of him,
       and spoke, "Scout... Why were you bouncing in here? You know
       that you aren't supposed to be doing that in a room like this."
       As Tec spoke, the ball in the cube slowed down and eventually
       changed into the form of a small dragonling...
       [spoiler=The Scout
       Shard][center]
  HTML http://www.bookofdeacon.com/wp-content/gallery/all/sketch-4.jpg
       The Scout Shard is small, resembling a child. With innocent
       yellow eyes, he is entirely devoid of aggressive emotion, and
       just seems to be enjoying himself at all times. But despite
       this, its psionic presence is surprisingly strong, easily
       overpowering that of Tec, Coll, and Guardian. The only
       comparable creature of such strength is Forbidden, though
       Scout's presence only extrudes positive emotion instead of the
       corrupted Shard's pure malice.
       [/center][/spoiler]
       The little Dragon just giggled, "Sorry! But it's fun!" Scout
       then looked at Re'Ni and waved with one his paws, "Hi!" Tec just
       grinned, "Scout, meet Re'Ni. Re'Ni, meet Scout. He's another one
       of the Shards aboard this ship."
       -
       Myst and Girmion also had their eyes on the new arrival, but the
       Golden Dragon had his eyes on Xefr. Stepping forward the young
       Golden Drake spoke with a sinister undertone, extruding nothing
       but hate, "Good... Then get out of the way and let me take
       vengeance for the childhood I never had... The one that was
       taken from me!" The buildup of energy increased, and he took
       another step closer.
       Girmion however then walked over to block him, "You aren't doing
       anything of the sort Dervis. We're going to talk, and you're
       going to see how much your father cares about you. That's a
       goddamn order." Dervis then turned his hate to Girmion, "Care?
       Care!? He never did care! If he did, he would't have abandoned
       me and left me to grow up like a ****ing feral! You don't have
       authority in this regard, instructor!"
       While the two were yelling at each-other, Myst stayed quiet and
       close to Xefr, preparing to help Cui with the shield if
       necessary.

       Re'Ni looked at the bouncing ball wondering what the hell it
       was, but she wasn't threatened by it seeing that Tec was pretty
       calm. Once the little dragonchild appeared and waved at her, she
       had mixed feelings inside her;  ..on one paw she had to see a
       dragon child ever since her early childhood, her brother in
       particular, on the other paw she could not feel anything but joy
       at the presence of this cute dragonling  ..mostly because she
       was getting a positive vibe from him. She extended her paw
       rather hesitantly and patted Scout's head {"This Re'Ni - glad to
       meet Scout!   ..ehm, sorry for touch, but ..look very cute!"}
       She then turned her head to Tec; while she said nothing it was
       pretty evident from her serene smile that she wished she could
       lay those eggs sooner and have a child of her own just like that
       one..
       -
       Noticing the tension, Caprima sighed and walked towards the two
       shouting Dragons, armed with two minor pacifying white orbs in
       each of her hands "ENOUGH! You, Girmion  ..you can't order
       people to understand. And you, Dervis  ...the moment you kill
       your father will be the moment that will haunt you the rest of
       your life  ..so stop saying idiocies and see the bigger
       picture." She threw the orbs at both; each dragon could feel a
       little bit more relaxed, however the spell wasn't as strong as
       the one casted at Xefr previously and anger could still be
       felt..
       The Capricorn started talking in a calm voice towards Dervis "I
       can't even begin to imagine what terrors you have gone through
       my poor soul  ..no child deserves this. But all parents make
       mistakes  ..sometimes bigger than permitted. Your father however
       while what he did was wrong, when he realised what you went
       through, he thought it was too late and would only bring sorrow
       to you  ...his guilt is greater than anything inside him and
       that says something about what he feels for you. I know you
       probably will never forgive him  ...but at least know that he
       tried to risk and see you again, just because he loves you.
       ..and deep down I know you do too. Just think about this." She
       turned looking at Xefr "His current condition is unfortunately
       my fault, and I'm sorry about that."

       Scout seemed to enjoy the patting, and made a beaming smile,
       "You're a nice dragon!" Suddenly, the dragon child teleported
       and was then atop Tec's head, prompting the larger Shard to roll
       his eyes and speak, "Scout, when was the last time you took a
       bath?" Scout quickly leaped and took flight once Tec mentioned
       hygiene, flying out the door and into the halls while yelling,
       "You can't make me!" The two Valorians sighed and saluted to the
       mature Dragon couple before running after the little one in
       pursuit.
       Tec held back his laughter and looked to Re'Ni with a smile on
       his face, "That trick always works. They'll all be fine, since
       Scout's favorite place to hide from bathes is actually is the
